This stock is a pure "future story": the market values it not by how much it makes today, but by how much it can change the way war is fought in the next decade. The company stands in the middle of three megatrends - autonomous combat drones, low-cost precision munitions ("affordable mass") and hypersonic systems - and has real flying products, pilot contracts with the US Marine Corps and NATO armies, a backlog of over $1.57 billion and a pipeline of potential orders of around $13.7 billion.
But in the financial statements so far we see more of a "startup in defense clothing" than a finished cash-cow: revenues of $1.35 billion in 2025 with organic growth of 16-17%, but gross margin only around 20%, operating margin of 1.9-2%, net income of around $22 million and EPS of $0.13. Today's share price stands virtually entirely on expectations of significant margin expansion - if Valkyrie, Ragnarök and hypersonic programs switch from demonstrators to full production.
